They shot the Mexican, and going up to take

afterwards horribly mutilated the body. The
Killing was witnessed by the Mexican's wife

COSTLY LAUNDERING.
How the Navy Department is Getting
Away with the Surplus

NEW YORK, July 22d.-ispecial 1.-THE Herald
Washington special says: If the Atlanta gun
carriages are too light, new ones will have to be
constructed not only for the Atlanta but for the
Boston and Chicago, as they are practically I'M
der way or completed, and may have to be cast
aside for larger and stronger ones. This would
mean the loss of between $4,000 and $50 coo.
The cause OF the damage TO the Atlanta is a
source of great humiliation to all the officers OF
the navy on duty here in Washington. With the
four new ships building and contracts for five
additional vessels to be awarded in a few
weeks, bids are to be invited for n great
armored cruiser and battle-ship. The officers
say that if the Department cannot keep pace
with experimental knowledge in ordnance it
is of little moment whether the new vessels
have guns or not. 1t might be for the safety OF
the officers and crew If they did not have gun.
Secretary Whitney shares, too, in this opinion.
He WILL if it is possible, find out why il is that
Il vessel constructed to carry two eight-iBch and
two six-inch guns has been so badly built, and

The Governments Virtual Surrender on
the Irish Land Bill.
Record Jnion's Special CuJleqran-C copyrighted

LONDON, July 22d.-Last nights debate i'll the
House of Commons goes far 10 encouraging the
belief that that Kaleidoscope measure, the
Irish land bill, which changes its aspect from
week to week and almost from day to-day, may
tenants. The Government was goaded last night
into making to the House Il confession of the
surrender of the principles which they had pre-
vicusly made in the privacy of the Carlton
Club.
The most remarkable feature in the debate
was the favor with which the Government re
ceived the suggestion of Parnell-that tenants
evicted for a number of years back should be
reinstated, the landlords being compensated
out of the irish Church fund for any less which
they might have incurred. The vast import
ance OF this provision win be seen at glance
The Government have not actually accepted it.
but the manner in which it was met last night
gives reason to hope that it may be embodied
in the bill.
HARRINGTON AND THE PREMIERSHIP.
Some newspapers here, including one or two
which support the Government, are urging the
inclusion in the Ministry of Harrington, with
the object of strengthening the Government
and avoiding in the future such electoral dis
asters us those of Spaulding and Coventry But
even If harrington were willing to take office
the result of his doing so would probably be
opposition to that which these journals antici-
pate. If a Wing Marquis entered the Cabinet
very likely he would bring with him Sir Henry
James, and perhaps some other of his followers.
The rank and file of the Tory party feel very
keenly already that too high a price has been
paid for the support of the Liberal Unionists and
nj in ha
Ministry is intended to break up the cohesion OF
the party. Besides, the Government could not
at this juncture afford to make such a demon
stration of its incapacity and helplessuess as
would be involved in the dismissal of their
Prime Minister to make way for Harrington.
